About Leeds Fed
History
Leeds Fed was formed in 1974 by a number of smaller associations
coming together to form a 'federation', for the benefit of the
community. The idea was that by working together they could achieve
more than as separate organisations. That philosophy has prevailed
throughout Leeds Fed's history, with partnerships and joint working
arrangements being a common feature of our operations over the
years.
The Association grew quickly through the 1970's and early 1980's
with a lot of pre 1919 stock. New build development was undertaken
through Leeds Partnership Homes during the early 1990's, leading to
the present day where our 4,300 homes are roughly half pre 1919
stock and half new build stock.
Most of our homes are in Leeds, but through the 1990's the
Association started developing outside Leeds and now has around 400
homes in Harrogate and 100 in Wakefield.
Services
The association's aim is to provide a benefit to the whole
community through the provision of housing and associated services.
Most of our services are directed at renting homes people want to
live in, for less than they could be rented from the private
sector. However through our supported housing team we also provide
services specifically designed to help people with particular
needs, for example older people, people with disabilities (physical
or mental), refugees and women fleeing domestic violence. Around
550 homes are used for supported housing helping people, as far as
is possible, live independently within the local community.
The Association engages in regeneration in the communities where
we have stock, in order to help change communities to become places
where people will choose to live.
The broad range of services provided by Leeds Fed is befitting
of an organisation whose raison d'être is to benefit
the whole community.
